Contracts are about the law, not morals.
If the contract had a clause that said the book could be delisted at any time, then there was no breach of contract.
Many of us have employment contracts that state our employment is at will and can be terminated by either party at any time. It doesn't matter if we're employed for one month, three years, or twenty years -- it's not a breach of contract to end it by its terms. (And it's not against the law in general unless the termination was for an illegal reason, such as race, gender, etc.)
I'm not saying what Amazon did was a good idea. I am saying it probably isn't a breach of contract.
